Loreto versus Santa Croce is a classic encounter in the history of the A2 league and it becomes even more important as both clubs are tied in the table with19 points. Santa Croce has appointed a new coach last week: Bertini took over Cannestracci, who was sacked.

“Santa Croce is definitely an excellent team – said coach Fracascia – They have quality in every department, with a top class pair of spikers, experienced middle blockers and an outside hitter that can hurt you from the serve”.
